Colorado State quarterback Collin hill has re-torn his ACL, this time playing basketball, and will undergo surgery, the school announced Monday.

Hill, a redshirt sophomore who was expected to start in 2018, suffered the injury on Thursday. It is the same knee and similar in severity to the tear he endured on Oct. 8, 2016, against Utah State as a true freshman. Hill is scheduled for surgery on Wednesday and is likely to miss at least the majority of the season.

Hill completed 58.1 percent of his passes (75-129) for 1,096 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions before his first ACL tear and redshirted last fall. He entered spring ball as the Rams’ most proven and experienced player at quarterback. The remaining options on CSU’s roster: redshirt freshman Justice McCoy, redshirt junior J.C. Robles and redshirt freshman Judd Erickson.

This isn’t the first time in recent memory a CSU quarterback has required a spring surgery for a non-football injury. In 2014, former Rams quarterback Garrett Grayson had to undergo surgery on his left clavicle after he injured it moving a couch.
